VIZIO smart TVs update their software automatically when connected to the internet, usually while the TV is in standby. You can also check for an update manually from the **System** menu.

## Check for an update manually

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect to the internet">
    Make sure your TV is online. See [Connect to Wi-Fi](/setup/connect-to-wifi).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open System settings">
    Press **Menu**, then select **System**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check for updates">
    Select **Check for Updates**. If one is available, confirm to install it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for it to finish">
    The TV may restart. Don't unplug it or turn it off during the update.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Unplugging the TV during an update can cause problems. Wait until the TV finishes and returns to the home screen.
</Warning>

## If an update is stuck or fails

* **Wait 15 to 20 minutes.** Large updates can take time.
* **Power-cycle the TV.** Unplug it for 60 seconds, plug it back in, then check for updates again.
* **Check your connection.** A weak signal can interrupt downloads; try Ethernet.
* **Contact official support** at [support.vizio.com](https://support.vizio.com) if the TV won't start after an update.
